We take the "gospel of peace" (Eph. 6:15) to BiH, so Lord, use this time of uncertainty to grow us, build us, and prepare us to proclaim the mystery of the gospel to a people desperate for you. The battle belongs to the Lord. (2 Chronicles 20)

Kapljuh landscape
We continue to learn of the fascinating geography in Bosnia. Consider Kapljuh, an area with land infertile for agriculture yet fascinating in is own right.
According to this article, Roman milestone markers have been found in the area. Even more interesting, there are sink holes and an other-worldly appearance to the land. Fascinating!

Sarajevo Haggadah
During this time of Holy Week and the Jewish celebration of Passover, I recently learned of a very historic, significant Haggadah which bears the sobriquet of Sarajevo. It has a fascinating story, and provides more texture of the culturally complex environment of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
